The Square D QO120CAFIC is a combination arc-fault circuit interrupter (CAFCI) breaker designed to protect your home's electrical system from dangerous faults. This single-pole breaker provides both overload and short-circuit protection while specifically detecting arc faults—dangerous electrical arcs caused by damaged, aged, or improperly used wires and cords that can lead to fires. By interrupting power when an arc fault is detected, this breaker helps prevent electrical fires before they start.
With its plug-in design, the QO120CAFIC installs easily into compatible Square D load centers, CSEDs, and NQOD panel boards. The breaker features Square D's exclusive Visi-Trip indicator, which snaps to a position between OFF and ON when tripped, with a high-visibility red indicator to help you quickly identify which circuit has been interrupted. Time-Saver Diagnostics technology provides advanced trip indication to identify the type of fault that occurred, reducing troubleshooting time and guesswork during electrical diagnostics.
